Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins and Decorations
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
- ½ cup colorful sprinkles (rainbow jimmies work best)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, then mix well.
- Combine and fold: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
- Shape and roll: Scoop 1½-inch dough balls and roll them in sprinkles until fully coated. Place on prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm.
- Don’t overbake — cookies firm up as they cool.
- Use room-temperature butter and egg for even mixing.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze dough balls for up to 3 months and bake directly from frozen.
